Describe the problem

🐛 If you click on anything outside the Serial Monitor input field, the field loses its border and is not easily distinguishable from the output window.

To reproduce

  1. Select a board/port in the Arduino IDE.
  2. Open Serial Monitor.
  3. Add some text to the "Message" field.
  4. Click outside the message field.

🐛 Notice that there is now no indication that an input field exists:
